my competitor site looks like http://www.downloadpkrpoker.com/ Code (markup): i hope to make my site gain a pr of 3 i am chosing a hosting program and i was wondering how much monthly traffic do i need? my options are 10gb a month or 20 obviously 20 gb a moth costs more do you think i will do fine with 10gb a month? or is it too little i'm afraid that too many server requests may make my site not reachable at times...
I would try something from Media Temple out. We like them a ton and have been using them for a while now. First site in my signature uses them and I run that site and another site that combines for around 100k pageviews per day.
If you site doesnt use a lot of disk space you can test it at any free hosting service 1st to check you daily bandwidth requirement. Talking about free hosting http://www.1sthoster.com is good to start with. Maybe by mentioning this DP thread link you might get extra disk space for starting ^^.
Bandwidth usage is depends on your traffic & Servers IN& Out data transfers. As some downloads involve in your site , better to go atleast 100 GB bandwidth... Simultaneous usage of too many server requests controlled by the term "network port" You do not have control in this term in your shared hostings...If you believe , your host not enough to handled simulataneous access, Go for Virtual private servers or Dedicated servers... But my personal advice, currently you do not need them..when you get high traffic in future, Just upgrade to VPS or dedicated servers...
